Interpreter
(Translator) Services

All hospitals and medical centers should
provide medical interpreters for people who are limited- or non-English
speakers. Medical interpreters should be available for most languages and
are free-of-charge to the patient. These services may be in person or over
the telephone. It is best to use a trained medical interpreter rather than
a family member or friend. Trained interpreters can explain complex medical
terms and procedures that may not be familiar to non-medical people, even if
they are fluent in a language. Friends and loved ones may also have an
emotional response to the information given by a health care provider. This
may affect how they give the information to the patient.
